For sake of context and to reduce redundancy, the reader of this site should read the prior article that reviewed J W Lees Harvest Ale Matured In Calvados Casks. You see, this beer is no different in recipe than the beer aged in Clavados casks. Drinking two beers of same/similar recipe with only slight nuance [...]
Often, one finds themselves lost in a sea of beer sites and blogs. Sometimes I wonder, “are there too many of them?” No, absolutely not—as long as they all are not saying the same thing. Thus said, the content of this site is carefully chosen, especially when it comes to beer reviews. The honest truth [...]
Skarsgaard is one of many good Scandinavian brewers that has come into the American beer scene. This one in particular is from Norway. They’ve come by land, by sea, by Eric the Red type ships. However, this is a welcome invasion that gratifies rather than pillaging. The porter is somewhere between a brown and robust [...]

Mental illness is setting in from acute beer obsession. As I read more beer books, certain terms always strike me as odd or weird sounding. Some terms I would even be afraid to say in front of my grandmother; who wants to sound like he’s being filthy around the grams? Anyway, I decided to start [...]
I feel sorry for Neo Prohibitionists who, while search in the a haystack for the evils of beer, miss out on absolute joy of human bonding when moderate beer is added to a social setting, or is the focus of a gathering.
The Maryland based brewery, Flying Dog, has certainly taken a healthy bite of the craft beer industry. Their clever canine theme and awesome label art lends itself to an enticing shelf product.
